Silence, we hunt for the Queen
Sign of the cross

Oh, to be never afraid
Of wolves at the door
Howling for more
More's been empty for years
And it all must end
Time to be killing the dragon again
Kneel and behold your new king
Digital dreams
And wonderful things to tease you
Small Gods with electrical hearts
And it all will end
Time to be killing the dragon
